Coordinate Geometry
Master the basics of coordinates and graphs with a trusted classic
This reader-friendly introduction explains how to describe points, lines, and shapes on the plane using coordinates. It covers how to represent numbers as lengths on axes, how to plot a point, and how to understand abscissas and ordinates. The book also presents the idea of a graph or locus for equations and starts you on solving and sketching simple curves.
- Learn how to define coordinates, axes, and the plane
- See how to represent a pair of values as a point on the graph
- Understand the concept of the graph of an equation and the straight line
- Explore foundational ideas about coordinates in space and the language of distances
Ideal for readers building a solid foundation in analytic geometry and for those seeking a clear, methodical approach to coordinate concepts.
